Keynote Speaker
Kathryn Martin, Alumna
Ivy Tech Community College of Indiana

Kathryn Martin lost her son to a vicious tornado,
but committed the power of grief and tragedy
toward two causes that offer enormous help –
and even save lives. She started CJ’s Bus (named
for her son, a rapid-response mobile unit designed
to provide a safe and distracting environment for
children in the immediate aftermath of disasters.
She also fought and won the passage of CJ’s Law
in 2007, which requires life-saving emergency
radios to be built into all new manufactured and
mobile housing in Indiana. She has been awarded
the Congressional Medal of Honor and the Jacqueline
Kennedy Onassis Award – the highest community
service honor in the nation – as well as awards from
Oprah Winfrey, the Montel Williams Show, the
National Weather Services’s prestigious Mark
Trail Award, and has been featured in People
and Reader’s Digest Magazines. |
